I have a long standing issue against 4WPW, to the tune of a couple of grand, and I will never recommend them anywhere at any time and I wanted to let all ya'll know their customer service policies suck and the service I received from the store in Tacoma Washington was completely abysmal. You may not believe me but if you have really listen to when people gripe on this or other boards, you will see 80% of the time it was because of something that company(regardless of location) did to the individual whether it is small or big they are always screwing something up. They have not recieved my business since then(1999) and will NEVER do so in the future. :evil: :evil: :evil:

TTBlows · 03-21-2003, 04:22 PM

I'm with ya anytime. They screwed me

**Crazed** · 03-21-2003, 05:14 PM

They got me too ....Bastards

**Big Mike C.** · 03-21-2003, 05:45 PM

When I asked about lifts for Broncos at the Tacoma store, they quoted me a much higher price than advertised and wouldn't give me the time of day when I had questions. The store in Colorado sold me a Tough Truck Challenge video, when I got home my wife said they had called and my shipment was in. I didn't order anything! I told her to call them back and see if it had been paid for...whatever it was.

Leonard · 03-22-2003, 11:25 PM

i never had a problem wiith them of course i did my order online recieved my order on time and correct.

Grizzly · 03-23-2003, 03:09 AM

I thought I would point this out.... :) Including my original POST and ending with Leonards POST would be 5 POST's about 4WPW quality. In my original POST I said there would be 80% negative comments I have seen and this first run sorta proves it......... :) 5 comments, 4 are bad 1 is good. 100% devided by 5 equals 20%..........soooooo, 1 good POST equals 20% and yes you guessed it, 4 bad comments equal......80%.....tada!!!!!!!! I know I need to get a life but I thought this was too good to pass up....

ZOSO · 03-23-2003, 11:35 AM

They have been okay for me. I just went down yesterday and put tires and wheels on the 74 and they treated me good. It sucks cause thats the only place close to me. I would go down to high country performance4x4 but they not open but for a couple hours on sat.

They are morons on the 800 #. But, i they did send me the correct product. I have been going through ORU since, i like the folks down there are Offroad Unlimitted, helpfull, nice. etc.

welndmn · 03-27-2003, 07:11 PM

You would be shocked but your still buying from 4WPW, almost all vendors (JBG, ORU, Summit) most buy from 4WPW and sell it to you.
But i hate them too, But i normally make sure that my order ir going out right, and only order from friends that work there, and even still it gets messed up, but i blam that on their order software

***jopes*** · 03-28-2003, 01:38 PM

only order from the friends that work there.

**Big Mike C.** · 03-28-2003, 01:43 PM

Don't we have a member on the board that works there? Maybe they can be a point of contact for us.

marriedguy1 · 03-28-2003, 06:16 PM

I have ordered 3 times form them and all 3 were good. I typically go into the store with my part numbers in hand and just have them enter the order and pay. I usually know more about the products than the guys working there.
My wife went there and wanted to buy a Powertank for me for Christmas and all three guys working there had no clue what it was. They had to call their tech support to find out if they sold such a thing. One guy even said that he thought it would be illegal to carry a CO2 tank in your vehicle.

**WasACop3436** · 04-07-2003, 09:54 AM

The only thing I bought from 4WPW (so far) was my Detroit locker. While the "professional" was typing my "order" into the computer I told him to make sure I got the one for the 8.8 WITH C-clips. His reaction was "Oh, that must be what the little A&B stand for." He had to start over because he had the wrong one. I am glad I knew what I was talking about.

On the other side though, the regional manager gave me a free copy of the Top Truck Challange while out here in the gulf. That and they are a heck of alot better than ORW!

If they have it in stock on there showroom floor or in the back of the store, then you can't beat the price. But make sure it is the right thing before you leave the store.

badblack88 · 06-04-2003, 04:13 AM

I hate 'em. They sent me the wrong damn shocks and I knew it. Then I called them back and they said that they didn't even carry the shock I was holding in my hand with their damned invoice. After being bounced to four people, they gave me the number for pro-comp and I had to call them to get the correct numbers for the idiots at 4wpw. How hard is it to look up a 6" lift shock for a 79 bronco??

david95 · 06-04-2003, 10:07 PM

I was so pumped about getting my truck back today with the 6inch lift and 35s. I called like every hour to see if i could pick it up. Then the guy finally called me and said they ordered the wrong bolt pattern on my new wheels. Well auctually he said the wrong ones were shipped....i dont know who messed up. but it pissed me off...now lets see if they can install it...

***Damager*** · 06-05-2003, 02:50 PM

better check out the lift install when you get it back

bigdave · 06-05-2003, 05:39 PM

They screwed up my order a few years ago, too. I never went back to them.
